COMPLIMENTS OF CHARLES LATHROP PACK, LAKEWOOD, NEW JERSEY 



SHADOW LAWN DEFINITIONS 

German-Americans (or any other form of hyphenates, 
such as Irish-Americans) — "I.oyal and patriotic citiz- 
ens" who should be given the glad hand when they are 
for my reelection, but "treasonable hyphenates" who 
are a menace to the country when they are for my rival. 

The United States Navy Torpedo Fleet — An Ameri- 
can invention for saving lives in the interests of the 
higher humanity and the lower neutrality, relieving the 
German U-boat commanders of possible violations of 
international law and the conseqviences of their own in- 
human acts. 

Stumping Tours — Partisan campaigning when indulg- 
ed in by any ex-Justice. of the Supreme Court and highly 
injurious to American polity ; but when resorted to by 
the President, merely occasional non-partisan excm^sions 



B%1

in response to the insistent demands of the people for 
instruction in the art of keeping in office. 

War — Any pohcy, constructive or otherwise, that my 
opponents recommend in domestic or foreign relations. 

Peace — Anything that I do in Mexico or elsewhere, 
though it costs millions in money, bloody conflicts and 
loss of life and involves executive usurpation. 

Deserving Democrats — Our impecunious friends who 
come to our rescue and seek office where the efficient 
fear to tread. Also, patriots opposed by "snivel service." 

Strict Accountability — Merely a verbal phrase, to be 
read with the wink of the eye and interpreted by the con- 
traries (Bryan patent). 

Watchful Waiting — An American equivalent of the 
border word "manana" ; or, never do to-day what you 
can postpone to next week, or, better, next year. 

Consistency— A jewel to be sure, but one that may 
damn the possessor. As a policy, to be more honored 
in the breach than in the observance. 

To cure this sort of thing
